BLACKSM ITHS FORG E.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 287,180, dated October 23, 1883,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM SHAW, of Bay City, in the countyof Bay and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Blacksmiths Forges; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, and in Which Figure 1 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view of my improved blacksmiths forge. Fig. 2 is a vertical cross-section, and Fig. 3 is a horizontal section of the same on line no 00, Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

My invention has relation to blacksmiths forges; and it consists in the improved construction and. combination of parts, of the same, as hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In'the accompanying drawings, the letter A indicates the fire-pot, which consists of an inner and an outer casing, B and O, forming a Water-space, D, between them, which is connected to a water-tank, E, by two or more pipes, F.

The blast-pipe or tuyere G passes through the sides of the casings and opens into the firepot near the bottom, which has an opening, H, which extends downward through a wide Application filed March 26, 1883. (No model.)

tube, I, the lower end of which is closed by a slide, J, sliding in ways K under the end of tube I.

It will be seen by reference to the drawings that the inner casing forms an inward bulge, L, around the inner end of the blast-tube, keeping it cool at the point where it opens into the fire. By this construction the firepot is continually kept cool, preventing it from becoming burned out, and it may be cleaned in a moment of time by opening slide J allowing the coal and cinders to drop out, when the fire-pot may be filled and a fire started again.

Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States i The herein described blacksmiths forge, consisting of the fire-pot A, having inner casing, B, and outer casing, O, forming Waterspace D, and having bottom opening, H, water-tank E, water-pipes F, blast-tube G, surrounded by bulge L in the inner casing, bottom tube, I, and slide J, sliding in way K, all constructed, combined, and arranged as and for the purpose shown andset forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereunto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

. WILLIAM SHAW.
